Study of Sample Dispersion Mechanisms in an Electroosmotically Pumped Microchannel

Debusschere B., Najm H., Matta A., Knio O., Ghanem R., Le Maitre O., Sandia National Laboratories, US

In many microfluidic separation processes, dispersion of sample peaks is a significant problem limiting the detection resolution. In this work, we use simulations to study the dominant dispersion mechanisms during a protein labeling process in [...]

Uncertainty Quantification in a Reacting Electrochemical Microchannel Flow Model

Debusschere B., Najm H., Matta A., Shu T., Knio O., Ghanem R., Le Maitre O., Sandia National Laboratories, US

We describe a technique for modeling electrochemical microchannel flows including the propagation of uncertainty from model parameters and boundary conditions to the model predictions. The approach uses a pseudo-spectral stochastic construction with a polynomial chaos [...]
